Peyton Hillis was acquired for Brady Quinn... That alone gets him on the cover for me... lol

It doesn't surprise if Hillis won. This whole vote is a popularity contest. Hillis may not be statistically a cover athlete type player, but he is popular.

It's like when I watch Packers game, the fans go crazy every time John Kuhn touches the ball. Kuhn is no where near the best player on the team but Packer fans absolutely love the guy.

But Michael Vick was #2 in probowl voting behind Tom Brady and infront of Peyton Manning!!!

For as popular as he is, Vick also has more people that hate him than probably any other of the players in this contest.

I want Vick to win out of the two even though it really doesn't matter who the cover athlete is because they don't make the game better or worse, but my personal opinion Vick had the better year and was under a lot of pressure to perform good since everyone and there grandmother was/is after that mans head.

Stop that.

Co-sign on these two posts. Some of y'all just kill me.

Get the **** over it.

Thank you for telling us how to feel. And with that condescending tone.

That was really nice of you.
